For those of us who have not yet achieved Tim Ferriss’ utopian call to the four hour work week, Dennis Bakke gives us great hope of the possibility of Joy at Work. He is the founder and former CEO of AES Power, a multi-billion dollar company in the power generation business. You can also see a documentary Power Trip about the venture of bringing power to a former Soviet bloc nation. You will enjoy this book, which is not only a New York Times Bestseller, but a truly enduring work and genuine contribution to the life of the workplace.
When the Georgian government could not supply electricity to its own people, they outsourced the job to AES. Although the original goals were not met, we can learn a lot about outsourcing on a larger scale, with lessons we can apply to our own situations. 2 Thumbs Up!
